Four-ton Rosie didn’t nearly crush Robert Pattinson

It has once again been claimed that Robert Pattinson was nearly crushed by an elephant on the set of Water For Elephants.

According to OK!, Rosie, a four-ton elephant, “tried to sit on him” during filming.

“Robert slid right down the elephant’s back,” wrote OK!, adding, “It could have been a disaster – but he got lucky, landing face first in a pile of mud. He was filthy, but unharmed.”

However Gossip Cop were quick to rubbish the rumour.

A source close to Pattinson told Gossip Cop the near-death crushing tale is “untrue.”
